PGPsdkServ.exe

It appears that PGPsdkServ.exe is launched whenever I boot Windows
98SE. It resides in and is launched per a
registry key. The properties indicate "PGP Software Development
Kit Service"; the file and product versions are both 3.0.3.

What is it? Do I really need this launched?

Hello, David

It is the interface between the user commands (hotkeys, plug ins, etc) and
the crypto libraries. I've never tried to *not* run it on Win98SE (my
current system), but on Win NT, PGP will not function without the program
running as a service.

FYI, there are two different copies of that library floating around--PGP
released 8.0.3 on 10/21/2003, and then a second time on 10/27/2003 (to
correct a problem with export of a group of selected keys).
